The newest "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" trailer has left some of us with even more questions about what the new trilogy will have in store. Who exactly are Finn and Rey? Who is Kylo Ren and how did he know Darth Vader? And where is Luke?
Dec. 18 seems to be so very far, far away.
But even though Disney pretty much scrapped the entire "Star Wars" Expanded Universe of novels and comic books when it acquired LucasArts and announced the new trilogy would be made, we have seen enough hints to say that we might be seeing some elements from the decades of now Legend canon make its way into the new films or at least influenced them.
Here are some of our best guesses of what might be in store when “The Force Awakens” finally hits theatres based on the images in the new trailer and what we know from the Expanded Universe.
Princess Leia
Chewbacca's presence in the newest trailer means that he is still alive and well, at least for the time being. For those not in the know of the events in the Expanded Universe, the lovable, grunting, walking carpet met his demise more than 20 years ago in the "Star Wars" novels as he was trapped on a bug-infested planet that was crushed by its own moon.
His death was seen by many fans as unnecessary and many are happy to see at least this element of the Legend canon not being adopted by Disney. However, with his arms up in surrender alongside buddy, Han Solo and newcomer Finn, could this mean something foul might still befall our Wookie friend?
Check out the new "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" trailer and see if you can spot any clues to keep us going until the movie opens in December.
